RLink Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Close to purchasing a pair today and was hoping someone who owns them could confirm that they sound okay without a solid corner placement. I don't have the most ideal corners but heard that because they are enclosed it helps compensate for that problem.......Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.

USNRET Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 While mine are not the 70th I enclosed them the same way and it makes an impressive improvement. I have NO corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Jim, I used 1x2 oak screwed into the grill attachments and the tailboard mitering both ends to match the angles. I then mitered 3/4" plywood to match the angles required to fit the grills and tailboards. I screwed the 'backs' into the 2 oak boards. Snagged a photo off the www and drew in the 1x2s below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Consider talking to fellow forum member @AaronB123 about some, he has a very slightly used set, would probably save you a chunk of change and would for sure help him out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronB123 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Yes I do own a pair that I would consider selling, they've got probably less than 10 hours of playtime on them. They've been just sitting in my storage room for months now and I can say definitely having the closed backs helps with bass response tremendously. The whole reason I bought those instead of the regular K-horns is because one of the corners in my room has a pipe so I was not able to get it flush in the corner (had to be about a foot out) and they still have very impressive clean bass.

RLink Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) There are many new pairs out there right now but it appears those who have them are selling for less to get them out of their warehouses. $16K was way out there in my view. Any thoughts on what I should pay for a brand new pair today? Was thinking around $12K. Thanks. Edited July 28, 2017 by RLink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
